Using Packages

Overview

Packages are containers for sending applications, scripts, and other files to devices managed by SOTI MobiControl. Package Studio compresses these items into a smaller package, allowing for swifter data transmission over low-speed network connections.

This section includes the following topics and folders:

• Creating Package Projects
• Building Packages
• Editing Package Projects
• Deleting Package Projects
• Using Scripts In Packages
• File Properties

Package Projects

Packages are the final form of the file and software container that is usable by SOTI MobiControl. In Package Studio, you are working with Package Projects, the development phase of a package.

A package project gathers the files, scripts, and applications together and lets you specify installation instructions. Once satisfied with the contents, you build the project to create the final package. You can change Projects after building them. Add or remove files and then simply rebuild the project.

Package projects save as *.mcp files.
